Ever since it made its debut in 2012, TJ Fest has quickly grown to become a popular free community cultural event that showcases multiculturalism and diverse backgrounds of Metro Vancouver.

The diversity of our region can be experienced artisan booths, local vendors, live performances, and mouthwatering food. The Taiwanese Food Fare of TJ Fest is one of the biggest highlights of the festival.

You will also find free carnival style games and prizes for children.

Taiwanese Food Fare + Market

Organizers say the authentic cuisine is easily the biggest draw to the festival each year and it’s what keeps people coming back for more. Spectators can enjoy a vast selection of mouth-watering Taiwanese eats at the food fare.

Guests will also be able to support local businesses by shopping at one of the community market’s artisan booths and vendors located right on-site.

In addition to food, there are crafts and handmade products made available for purchase.

All of the proceeds collected by TJ Fest from the vendors will be donated to the Canadian Liver Foundation, supporting our community and local businesses at the same time.
